About WeHo
WeHo is an American singer, songwriter, and music producer.
Under her real name, Mercy, she began her career as a solo acoustic artist; initially playing melancholy tunes in local coffee shops and bars around Gainesville, FL, and busking on the streets of St Augustine. A year or so after moving to Gainesville, she formed an acoustic band (under her given name) with Frank Kolosky on drums and Carl Roberts on bass. The band performed out regionally and produced 2 albums before parting ways, when Mercy made her move out to L.A.
Much to her dismay, Los Angeles turned out to be a short lived misadventure which ended in the performer going broke and moving back to Florida…but not without the experience making a considerable impact. In fact, her time out West, all the misfortune that went with it, and some personal details are what catapulted her transformation into WeHo. When she returned to Florida in 2009 she began learning to produce, with the help of Carl Roberts, and made a conscious decision to start creating more positive outcomes in her life and career by putting forth more positive actions and intentions. This included creating happier, more upbeat music. It wasn’t long before WeHo was born; a more fashion forward, zombie obsessed, art infused, dance worthy take on the synthpop scene. Since then she has gained a name for herself as both a singer and a skilled producer.
Though notably unique, her electronic style and use of costumes and theatrical staging have drawn comparisons to a number of musical influences, ranging from Robyn to La Roux, Karen O. (of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs), and Lady Gaga.
WeHo has been performing and developing her shows in Miami, New York, and Los Angeles, making herself not only a part of the local music scenes, but also involving herself as much as possible in the art and fashion world where her style and presence is welcomed.
In 2011 WeHo’s song ‘Addict’ was chosen to be featured in a promo video for the Milk & Honey Winter collection, designed and hosted by Aussie star, Ruby Rose. In 2013 WeHo released two singles; ‘Don’t You Want It (feat. Alfred von Blume)’, and ‘Easy Kill’. The music video for DYWI was released this year and the new full length debut album is expected out very soon. WeHo presently lives in New York and has lots in store for the near future.
